timing error question responses

[Chris Landauer]

hihi, peter, alin-adrian, don -

thanx for your quick answers and suggestions (i don't think that i tried to
run this program on any of my 4.x systems and i know i haven't tried to run it
on anything else, since i don't use anything else for real work; apparently,
pentiums sort of use ieee floating point, which has 52+1 bits mantissa, with
flags to use 64bits - so that's not the problem either)

it sounds more like peter's more historically aware response explains what
happened - i will see what i can do to check it and report back soon

i will also look up the PR reporting procedures and make one of for this

thanx to all,
and more soon,
cal
